I don't like it, I don't want it, I am not going to switch to it, and I never want to see it again. For the longest time it would periodically switch to the new outlook, I would turn it off, and submit feedback stating the previous. Now it auto opens every single time. I do not ever want to see the new outlook again for the rest of my life. Do not make me switch to Mac or Linux or whatever because I am petty and will eventually become so disgruntled and delete everything Microsoft and never spend another dime on anything they make over something stupid. I want to know a way to permanently delete the new outlook off my system so it doesn't get to that point.
Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments

Correct. They want to share the scripts between the apps. It also makes for faster updates and the continuity between apps so they are all identical.
For me it looks like it is an idea to have the same code for a web mail site and desktop clients for different platforms. As usual, cross-platform code works the same (same bad) on all platforms, but who care.
Yes, but why is Microsoft trying to ram this down everyone's throat with such vigor?
Simply start Outlook (classic) instead of Outlook and you'll have the Outlook you're used to.
It's both on your hard drive.
That is the mailto setting. Windows Settings > Apps > Default apps - search for new Outlook, click on it to open the default associations and select mailto from the list, changing to something else.
Your list will likely be shorter as I have a lot of mail apps installed.
